  1. Well they fuk'd up there aswell then. There was a big memo sent around when i was working there about doing vehicle checks before and after the work is done.... but like you said there going to paint both sides now anyway. if they kick up a fuss just remind them about this..... Also check ur interior for damage that was'nt there before :wink: . esp the dash board where it meets the screen.
  2. I used to work for RAC screens (not that branch tho) and when i started people used to tell you all about the jobs that you dont want to do and the corrado was near the top of the list. All big jobs like corrados SHOULD be done in the base/depo as the mobile fitters only get about an hour per job and most jobs/screens they get given only take that long to do (mk4 golf screens take 30min), corrados should take around 3 to 4 hrs topps. The worst part is the trim and its a propper nightmare to get it to stay on the screen while you lift it in. The bonnet should never be taken off. The first corrado i done took me about 2 hours from the time i had the old screen out and to be honest it was'nt hard,it just took longer to do than most jobs. Did you sign any paper work BEFORE you left the car and did the fitter go round the car for damage with you BEFORE you did?
  3. Yea was at pod on sunday and done 13 dead..... hes after a high 12s with the DTA remap and a k04 then its big power time!! low 11 or even 10s passes is the goal low 11 should be possible but 10s is what hes really aiming for! Also im shure hes not going for the gt28rs no more either.

  12. The car was mapped today at Stealth Racing by Geoff Everet and it made 274bhp @ 7200rpm. Bore = 82.5mm Stroke = 92.8 9ish to 1 comp :wink: 10 psi of boost No nos,not a cross flow and its on VW G60 management. Geoff said that its the most powerful G60 that he has ever mapped 8v and with another 1 thousand rpm and a bit more boost it would make OVER 300bhp :shock: . If u would like to know more about this car then it will be at the R/R day at stealth on the 10th of next month. The car is not mine,im posting this for a mate.
